    Having a century flood once a century is no cause for change. Having them every few years… well the idiots will just bitch about the infrastructure needing improvement (but don’t you dare raise their taxes for that).

      Here’s what blows my mind. A once in a century storm would imply that, more likely than not, the place is going to experience one during your lifetime. And that’s ignoring climate change

      How is that the standard to build things to? That’s insane!
